a search found urpmi in 5 directories.



however yesterday I found an update of rpmso on mdk site, all now -3.
I downloaded all new files and started over.
Progress much better than with -2 files.
Got all the way to gnucaash-1.8.5.-3mdk. All supporting files were found and 
eventually installed ok.
Now- gc-1.8.5-3 installation aborts because it needs the following 5 perl 
files(modules?) CPAN, English, FileHandle, lib, strict
Should these have been installed with inital installation?
I seem to have perl 5.8. and other stuff.
Any suggestions.

Have you guys ever heard of Quicken?
